More Insights
Built in 1909 (116 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1909, is well-maintained with recently refinished hardwood floors throughout, which is a significant positive. However, the kitchen features dated tiled countertops and backsplash, and older-style cabinets, indicating it has not undergone a recent full renovation. While some bathroom elements like the vanity and shower tile appear updated, the overall style is a mix, and light fixtures throughout the home are traditional/older. These factors suggest that while the home is move-in ready and functional, it requires minor updates, particularly in the kitchen, to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition score.

About this home
Remarkable Price!!! 317 Douglass Street is a condo in an intimate three unit Edwardian building. Full floor flat with San Francisco charm and character. Coved ceilings, period built-ins, *hardwood flooring throughout AND JUST REFINISHED. Two decorative fireplaces are just a few of the highlights. Beautiful, rich wood paneling adorns our southern-exposed family/dining area. The floor plan consists of 2-3 bedrooms depending on use, a kitchen, with a great pantry. Hallway offers closet, storage and a split bath and water closet. A rear room for either kitchen meals or use as an office facing the rear deck. Common areas include a landscaped garden with irrigation and laundry area. This neighborhood rates right up there as a walkers' paradise. A short stroll from neighboring shops, restaurants, java houses and public transportation, yet just above and out of the commercial business hustle and bustle on a quiet street. ~ *A 75% area carpet rule per CC&Rs(or 75/25% coverage) is a requirement to cover at least 75% of wood floors to help reduce noise. If your unit has wood, tile, or laminate floors and you live in a densely populated area like San Francisco you'll need to cover the majority of your floors with area rugs to keep your neighbors happy. HOA $400 month.
